A research project by Johns Hopkins University funded by NIEHS to study chemical exposures in pediatric intensive care units and their health impacts, aiming to guide interventions to reduce exposure and improve outcomes.
Description
This novel study will provide a deep understanding of industrial contaminant exposures, including legacy and contemporary plasticizers, incurred by critically ill children throughout their PICU admission. The study will assess how such exposures impact short-term and long-term health outcomes to guide new interventions to reduce chemical exposures and promote positive outcomes among critically ill pediatric patients at high-risk for subsequent morbidities.
